"Java3D development has stagnated." ... isn't that right now (at least on
Sun side)?

Since the word "dead" seems to offend some people, lets just say then
that Java3D development has stagnated.
Aside from porting to new operating systems, there doesn't appear to be
any new development going on. Rumour has it that most of the team has
been sacked (many posted farewell emails to this list). Of course if
Java3D is alive and kicking, then all that is needed is a one paragraph
press release from Sun to deny the rumours once and for all.
There's nothing wrong with Java3D, it's an excellent API and I would
like to see it's continued development. However, if something remains
stagnated for two long, it dies. Just as a plane that is in a holding
pattern will eventually run out of fuel and crash.
If Java3D is reincarnated into a product with a greater community focus
as appears to be its destiny then this is great and I look forward to
seeing what it can become. At least in my eyes however, Java3D in it's
current form is dead.
Best Regards,
Will.
